This is a conventional serif with pronounced stroke contrast and crisp, bracketed serifs that taper into the stems. Curves are full and sculpted, with a slightly calligraphic modulation that shows in letters like C, S, and the two-storey a and g. Uppercase proportions feel steady and bookish, while the lowercase maintains a regular x-height with compact counters and strong vertical emphasis. The numerals follow the same high-contrast pattern, with angled terminals and a refined, print-oriented rhythm.
It suits book typography, magazine layouts, and other editorial settings where a classic serif texture is desirable. The strong contrast and crisp serifs also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, titles, and refined branding or packaging that aims for a traditional, premium feel.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, conveying seriousness and authority. Its sharp serifs and strong contrast suggest a classical, literary voice suited to established institutions and polished publishing contexts.
The font appears intended as a modern, print-oriented text serif that balances conventional proportions with a more sculpted, high-contrast finish. It aims to deliver a familiar reading rhythm while adding a touch of sharpness and formality for display and editorial emphasis.
The design favors tight, decisive joins and pointed terminals that keep edges crisp at display sizes, while the internal shapes stay relatively compact for a dense, text-like texture. The italic is not shown; all samples appear upright.
